I just ordered from newegg

Mushkin PC3200 222 (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-288&depa=1)

and

FX 5700 Ultra (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-178&depa=1)


cant wait for them to get here..... Im so stoked right now about this.... it will help out my pc greatly, granted the 5700 ultra isnt the top of the line but its a vast improvement from my fx5200 I have now. As for the ram well it speeks for its self, but dont they have bh-6 chips on them.. thought I read it somewhere. Whatca guys think?

Excellent RAM choice, but why didn't you go for a 9800NP for the money you're paying for the FX5700U? It would be a much better choice... if you can, call newegg and get them to cancel that part of the order, then re-order a 9800NP seperately :).

Link to one on newegg as an example is: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-131-406&depa=1

It's only $3 more than the card you ordered, and will perform a lot better.

The RAM does indeed contain Winbond BH-6 chips, and has been doing exceedingly well for forum members who have posted about having it :). Mushkin's site confirms the BH-6 RAM chips on them.

GT thanks for that info, will do

[GoldenTiger]

You're most welcome... let us know how it all turns out :)!

OMG, since when is BH6 so damn expensive? :eek: Now it's just as pricy as BH5 :s Well Good luck with the o/cing :)

[rcillig]

wow it just went up $40 since I ordered last nite. I got it for $244

[johan851]

Must be pretty high demand for it. I'm not surprised that it costs as much as BH-5 though, the two perform pretty much on par.

Now if Winbond would just make some BH-4 or something...

Wow, I snagged it at $243 last week... so a $42 price increase! That's incredible... it's darn good RAM, but that's kind of ridiculous IMO.
